The Bend Bulletin, Saturday, June 4, 1955 Useless Advice This Is the time of the year when Hpeakera and cdit- oriul writers take delight in handing out reams of ad vice to youngsters who have just graduated or who' arc bout to graduate from high school. Such advice often views with pride the accomplish ments of past generations, and views with alarm some jut the pecadillos of the present younger generation. Z- Such advice is usually superfluous and quite often worthless. The speakers and writers seem to have it pen chant for forgetting that they, too, were once young. We prefer to look upon high school graduation in ; another way. It is the coming of age of another group of Amer- !"Jca's greatest single asset, our youth. Their parents have ' Invested considerable sums of money in them. The comm unity and the state have invested still other funds in their education. Such an investment is made willingly, and even eagerly by both parents and the community and state. It is made only in hopes of receiving an adequate return. The return is not to be figured in terms of per cents or - dollars, but in a richer, fuller life for the graduates and all those with whom they come in contact in their future lives. We're proud of our Central Oregon graduates, of their records in the past and future. We're sure they will us have for them. Jim Donovan Retiring? Over on the news side Staffers reported that Jim They don't know Jim Donovan. It is true that he is giving up his duties as manager of the Lumberman's hospital in Bend. And he is resigning as chairman of the tri-county selective service board. But Jim Donovan is not retiring. Later, Jim Donovan will establish his homo in a new community. There ho will face new challenges. When some serious community problem comes up, a committee will be named, and Jim Donovan will be a member. And eventually Jim will head the group as chair man. This has happened repeatedly in Bend in the past four decades as Jim Donovan thrt nnlli't rVtiftni) flrwrin iiin ways ho finished his duties, -uommittee chairman or board president. - In his nearly 45 years in Bend Jim Donovan has been i top citizen. We hope he will visit us often in the years Ahead when he moves across the Cascades to join his fam ily. But he may be too busy to make many trips. Jlu will bq chairman of some busy community committee. Do Something, Now It probiibly would be next to impossible to make a reasonable estimate of the number of graduates of private colleges and universities who are employed by Oregon bus inesses or who practice professions in this state. Looking at the number of private colleges in the state, though, and seeing the number of Oregon students regis tered in some of the other private colleges and universi ties outside the state, the number would bo considerable. Oregon, therefore, can be said to have a big stake in the future of private education in this country. And that future, at the present writing, is the darkest it has been in many years. The reason is a simple one money. Private institutions not having a tax base to fall back on and having to keep their tuition within pretty close limits have felt a tremendous financial pressure in the past ten years. Endowments from which many of them receive large chunks of their income have increased at a much slower rate than have expenses. Kvi-n though expenses have increased greatly, the rise of faculty salaries has not kept pace with the cost of living. The private schools, then-Cure, have had to put in a great deal of effort on unrestricted current gift pro grams, in order to provide funds Cor current operating expenses. Alumni of many institutions have responded nobly. But business as a whole in Oregon and elsewhere which draws many of the ultimate benefits from the pri . vale schools and the education they furnish, has not done its part. The timo to do that part is here. now.

But i Mrs. Klein's attitude is typical of the uneerlainty f most peopn r tlie safety of polio vaccine md whether inoculations should bo ontinued. Surgeon General Leonard H. Scln-elc, head of thp U.S. rubiie Health Service, has cleared up one K)int. , Many parents have the idea, ho says, that one shot o nhk polio vaccine made children more suo- ject to the disiMse. This is not true, says Dr. Scheele. One injection will tfivo more immunity than none. And the third shot, seven months after the first, will e,ivc still more. How lotu? 'ho immunity lasts, scientists don't yet know. Rut chil dren who were inoculated two ami Uuee years aj;o still have anti bodies in their blood to prevent the tlisease. If this immunity is not last int;, booster siiots can be given later. What has been largely forgotten in the rapid developments since the results of last year's tests with the vaccine were announced on April 1J. is that It") per cent im munity is not guaranteed. Indeed. it was wvor claimed. There were two ma.ior tests last year on l.S.)!V.M6 children in -II slates. They were the largest tests of Uus kind ever conducted By all past medical sl.nulanls, they should have provided un adcqu.it.? Index to the vaccine's reliability.

II. Sebivll, director of tiie National Institute of Health explains il, each vial of Ihe vac cine, prepared for physicians' use, contains doses for nine children. In no cases so far disclosed have two infections been traced to inocu lations from the same vial. The cases of polio that have veloped in inoculated children thu far may have come from two causes. Kirst in coincidental infection. A child may have a low resistance to Ihe disease. This child may have been infected close to the time of inoculation. Immunity I from inoculation builds up slowly. i ne inoculation may not have act ed fast enough to prevent th ' disease. .Second is massive infection. Polio epidemics break out in ir recular patterns in unpredictable places. The cause of the tlisease is not known. A heavier infection in some areas could bring on an inci dence of the disease that the im munity in first shots cope with. ' How solid is your F0tA for home ownc;ship?
